New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, Mansur Brown announces the release of a three-track EP, entitled 'Tesuto.' The EP which spans genres of R&B, hip hop, electronic and ambient will be released on Thursday, July 9 via Soulection Records, the independent label and creative hive for worldwide, experimental musicians that was started by the Los Angeles-based DJ collective Soulection.
In his own words Mansur describes his vision for the EP: "Tesuto, means Test in Japanese, the EP is representative of life and the struggles everyone universally goes through and looking at these obstacles and challenges as tests. The idea that no one is given an obstacle that they cannot overcome whether its a struggle that plagues a community or someone individually. This EP is my testament to God."
Also, check out Mansur's hypnotic solo live performance of "Mashita," from his debut LP "Shiroi" (2018); a lone Mansur plays and loops multiple instruments behind four walls of projected visuals reflecting the melancholy meditative beauty of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FwY5uHswwM

Since 2011, Soulection has been a cornerstone of creativity for innovative musicians, crate-digging DJs, and open-minded fans from across the world.

Over the past nine years, their grassroots expansion is a model of what happens when one stays true to their roots in the constantly evolving digital age of music. From putting out independent releases with producers like Ta-ku, Sango, Dpat, and Atu on Bandcamp to being the first collective invited to play Coachella, Soulection's growth has been organic and fruitful.
